New Puppy Families

This page outlines the steps before your puppy comes home—making it official that you’re joining the Foothill family. It’s designed for our new puppy families and includes helpful tips along with the forms you’ll complete along the way.

Important Links

Below are links that will be sent to you throughout the puppy process. The first link will be shared when the puppies are about two weeks old. The second will be sent once temperament testing is complete and results have been shared with families. The puppy consultation link may be sent a few times to ensure everyone has the opportunity to sign up.

New Puppy Family - Info Form

Once you’re officially on a specific litter picking list/waitlist, we’ll ask you to complete this form. It helps us gain a clear understanding of your preferences and needs.​
Complete Info Form

Puppy Go-Home Form

Once puppy biographies and videos for the litter you’re interested in have been sent, we’ll ask you to complete this form. This helps us get organized and ensures we’re prepared for picking day.​
